Bitdefender Uninstall Tool is a removal utility for products issued by Bitdefender. This approach is recommendable especially when you are confronted with the impossibility to uninstall a Bitdefender program from the Control Panel.

Because of their complex engines, antivirus applications are more difficult to remove than traditional software. In some situations, there’s not even a visible entry in the Control Panel of the computer for the security program you wish to uninstall.

For this purpose, companies that issue antivirus software usually offer an uninstaller, which should pay the expected results in the majority of such situations. As any other self-respecting company, Bitdefender also provides a removal utility for almost all of its editions.

Easy-to-trigger actions

Bitdefender Uninstall Tool is easy to handle, it requires minimal user efforts and is completely portable (it won’t leave footprints in the machine’s registry). Simply launch it, select the product to be uninstalled from the drop-down menu in the application’s interface and start the process.

Performance

Admittedly, the process may take a while, depending on the complexity of the software to be uninstalled. Once the removal is finished, a computer restart is required, for the changes to take place.

Our tests showed that uninstalling the Antivirus Plus edition took around ten minutes, reboot process included. By our standards, that’s a decent amount of time, taking into consideration that a manual removal would have exceeded this interval.

Bottom line

To sum it all up, you can rely on Bitdefender Uninstall Tool if you’re having a hard time removing one of the company’s products. It’s easy to use and pays the expected results in a timely fashion.
